Something I can pound out before finals week (2 weeks ago). No glue (Unless minor), and nothing large. I want to give my grandfather a gift, he's visiting from Iowa and I haven't seen him in 3 years. |

I was thinking about wooden coaster to put your glass on. It would be simple and I could make a nice set. I don't know what I would engrave in them/cut them out in shapes as. |

My teacher trust me with all machines except table and miter saws, she doesn't let us use those when she isn't there. I'd work on it over the summer but my grandpa gets her June 4th. |

ok well honestly they're not that time consuming
assuming your classes are 90 minutes long like mine itd take you like 2 days
if your classes are like 45 or something itd take you like 4
start with a piece of wood about an inch or two thick, and design your shape and the shapes inside for the drawers then cut it out (you'll have to cut through a small part but it looks fine after), then repeat it two more times until you get to the last one, then you just gotta trace it and not cut out the inside
then trace the inside and just do the same with the drawers
i used 2 4 foot long pieces of wood that were an inch and a half in thickness. and i cut it into fourths and just did that and it looked great finished. so idk its up to u really if you wann try

I like the idea of a bandsaw box but I don't know if my grandpa would really use it I was thinking cup coasters because they would get used alot I could use some heated tool to etch something on each, idk yet |

a wooden hat would actually be neat too heavy though but aaaa need coaster ideas it would be neat to have a cool cutout outline, but I can also just make them round and engrave each one a different thing |
